Flowers & Fonts

We had our third meeting (why are there so many?) with our stationery designer to go over all of the changes that I wanted because as I have said previously I am mentally unable to just look at something and say “yep that’s good!” I brought in my printed out pages of the proof with my changes as well as a bunch of Indian food stains on the front… keepin’ it classy.

We are trying to use a design on our invites and the one she chose we didn’t like…so she still has to send me some designs to look at before we can finalize this whole thing. I am not exaggerating the time we spent choosing fonts. I would not rest until the perfect fonts were chosen. Joey’s facial expressions seemed to range from annoyed to angry to completely apathetic. I was even annoying myself but I knew if I just picked one that I wasn’t totally happy with it would be all I would see when looking at the invitations.

I also had a follow up meeting with my amazing floral designer Bill. He had pulled a couple of photos off of my pinterest and then found a couple photos himself to see what I like and what I don’t. FYI I don’t like a lot of things, generally.

We went over the budget and confirmed quantities…then he just looked at me and was like “Is that it? No questions?” Nope. I’m not a very creative person so photos of what I like and what I don’t are about as far as I can take it. Modern, clean, glam. That’s about as much as he could get out of me. This is how I know I am not a bridezilla.

I bought a veil. Ladies, you will save a lot of money if you get one without beading.

We are now 5 months out from the wedding and I am starting to get anxiety. About money, about all of the things I have left to do, and about things that haven’t even happened yet but I know WILL stress me out eventually. My calendar is filling so fast with events and it makes me very uneasy. My new thing is when I lay down that’s when I start thinking about all of the things that could go wrong. It’s a great way to not get any sleep.

Next up on the itinerary is finalizing the invitations and placing the order, ordering linens (that I didn’t know we needed until now…), booking the limo, and oh yeah, planning the honeymoon.
